Have small red spidery spots mostly onface and neck that dont go anybody know what causes them??


Answers: It might also be due to slight problems in your liver. Sometimes the liver gets overloaded with toxins (like after holiday periods etc) and when this happens, small red spots can appear on the skin. A good herbal/homeopathic remedy for this is Milk Thistle. The tincture is best but unfortunately tastes rotten! But if this is your problem then it's worth it, the tincture is always much more potent than tablets. I'm not saying that's what it definitely is but my sister had it too and it worked for her. As with anything, if you can't figure it out for ages and it starts to bother you, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
Actually come to think of it, it might be rosacea either, this is a condition that causes broken veins in the face and neck, can be treated with topical metronidazole cream (on prescription probably, it is in Ireland anyway) so you might have to go to your doctor anyway.
Or possibly you could try arnica cream which is used to get rid of bruises...
There's a range of creams called Skin Doctor, they do a cream for spider veins which I use for my leg, it's fantastic. Not sure if it can be used on the face though but I'm nearly sure they do a face cream too.
they are most likely tiny thread veins, broken veins that are o longer used. Laser therapy can help - it is good at getting rid of them, but stings and is expensive.
I don't know, I have those too.
put a glass cup on them if it stays go to hospital
I think you are referring to broken capillaries under the surface layer of skin, these can be caused by squeezing spots or if someone likes to pinch your cheeks that too will cause them.

Of course there may be another explanation for them, why not ask your doc next time you visit.

Alternatively you could search on the web re broken capillaries / skin blemishes etc.
